I didnt have any problems with my two bonding to us. Yes they love each other but they are both affectionate towards My Husband and I too

I just got a male yorkie two months ago in early March (he's now 5 months old) and I'm getting another one tomorrow b/c i feel bad for leaving Foofy all alone while I'm at work. I know he's in love w/ me as much as i am w/ him b/c he follows me everywhere i go even if it's the littlest thing like me getting a glass of water or ironing my clothes. I'm taking Foofy along to pick up another male yorkie tomorrow. I think eventually they'll get along fine considering they're only 3 months apart from each other. But i am a little worried about jeousy issues mostly coming from Foofy.

Congrats on your new puppy

Please post pics ASAP

The first few days there might be jealousy issues, but they are soon forgotten and i bet they will be best friends real SOON!

Good luck

I would love to have two pups at the same time!

I have seen many families where people have bought two puppies at the same time and they do bond with each other more than with their human family. I have also noticed that if you buy two puppies that are siblings they will have a very strong bond with each other. Just depends on the pup's personality. It can either way...

I wish I would have gotten 2 at the same time. I want another one and am having a hard time getting my husband to let me get one!! I wondered if it would have been easier begging him when we did get Starsky!!!

Just ask yourself - would I rather have twins - or have my babies several years apart.

There are certainly advantages and disadvantages either way.

I love both of my pups but I must say that I think having just one would be easier. They do love each other and don't miss me as much. They sleep together and never have cried out at night. That being said, if one poops you don't know who did it. or chews something or whatever. I think they are calming down now but they do excite each other too much sometimes. I really think I would only get one next time.

My two younger ones are 1 month apart in age, and I found it very difficult with potty training. You never really know which one had the accident!! Lilly and Petey are quite the act together, but I think if I were to do it again I would wait about 6 months.
Either way, it is great having more than one.
